They (although I am not really sure who "they" are) say that right before I break through comes frustration. Well, I am really looking forward to what should be a GREAT BIG HUGE breakthrough.
Frustration is also a daily thing lately, with about everything. Then I feel like if I say anything - I am the bad person. Some of my frustration no one but me can do anything about - and I really am trying to work on those things. Keeping my things more organized - so the kids can come back and say, "but look at your room or see your shoes are in the middle of the living room). Trying to keep up with the housework a little better. It's just hard when trying to do those things and all the "old" organizing and cleaning - and the everyday things.
James 1:2-3 - My brothers and sisters, you will face all kinds of trouble. When you do, think of it as pure joy. Your faith will be put to the test. You know that when that happens it will produce in you the strength to continue. Posted this verse on my Facebook today - guess I really needed to read it. Wonder if frustration can also be considered trouble? I need to see the joy in small accomplishments, instead of saying well, if I get all these things done (the basement, my bedroom, the bathrooms, the boys rooms, etc.) THEN I will feel better and can relax.
I also need to learn to not feel guilty about taking the time for me to rest periodically throughout the day. I know that if I get too run down, that I will get sick. Found that out the hard way right after christmas, nothing like being sick over New Year's (and old MS symptoms returning because I was running a fever).
Oh well, this helped with some frustration - now to box a few more things up (VOA has a truck coming around tomorrow - and some stuff is going OUT).
